Yes, a shared library for Eiffel would be very useful.  Think of building
an operating system where the bulk of the library is the OS itself.
Classes like FILE and TASK would be available to all.  The application
would "simply" be "binded" to these class at load time!  To expand the
OS, you allow a few more classes to be "accessed" from programs.

Anyone have a CM* sysyem gathering dust in the basement?  :-) :-) :-) :-)
